Turmeric pancakes with smashed avocado

-

I have been playing around with glutenfree recipes recently. These little pancakes are made with rice flour and have a light texture, which makes them perfect for wrapping around fresh, crunchy veges and finishing with silky avocado.

Serves 46

coconut oil for cooking

Pancake

300g rice flour

4 Tbsp cornflour

300ml plant milk (coconut works well) or water

200ml300ml cup water

2 tsp turmeric

1 tsp salt

Smashed avocado

2 avocados, stones and flesh removed 1 clove garlic, crushed

1⁄2 red onion, finely diced

1 lime, juice

1 Tbsp olive oil sea salt and cracked pepper

Dipping sauce

2 Tbsp tamari or soy sauce 2 Tbsp rice vinegar

1 Tbsp maple syrup

1 Tbsp sesame oil

Method

To make the pancakes. Whisk together all the ingredient­s until all the lumps have vanished. The batter should be like a crepe mixture. Leave to sit for 1015 minutes.

Heat a good nonstick fry pan and melt enough oil to lightly grease the pan. Ladle in enough batter to just cover the base of the fry pan as you want to make the pancakes as thin as possible.

Cook for 1 minute, flip and cook for another minute. Remove and place on baking paper. Continue cooking the remaining pancakes until the batter is finished. Set aside.

Now get together all your vegetables and place on a large platter or in bowls.

Smash the avocado in a bowl and mix through all the ingredient­s. Taste as you go as you want a tangy, wellseason­ed plate of avocado.

Mix the dipping sauce ingredient­s together and put into small bowls.

To serve

Place the vegetables, smashed avocado and dipping sauce in the middle of the table. Stack the pancakes on plates and allow everyone to fill their own.

Enjoy.
